In fact, it was quite good.

If youre expecting more of the sameCall Of Duty-style gameplay, though, youll be surprised.

Think Metal Gears of Bond, and youre about there.

(I bet the iPhone cant do that!)

Theres even a rooftop chase sequence that stands out as a highlight of the game.

Pacemaker

When you first plough intoBlood Stone, youll experience an initial wow factor.

But this soon gives way to a far more mundane and slow paced game, at least initially.

In fact, I suspect most will try the multiplayer out one or two times and never return.

Its just so, well, meh.

You expect me to be good?

Bond fans will definitely get a kick out of this, but its noGoldenEye.
